ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Stars hidden by black clouds can shed no light. If the turbid south wind, rolling the sea, churns up the swell, the wave, but lately glassy and clear as on serene days, soon, the mire loosened, foul with mud, blocks the sight. And the stream that wanders down from the high mountains often is stayed by the rock of a stone loosened in its path. You too, if you wish to discern the truth with clear light, and to take the path by a straight track, cast off joy, cast off fear, put hope to flight, and let no grief be present. The mind is clouded and bound in reins where these hold sway.
